fighting style?

what is your fighting style? ive worked out three main fighting styles which i have found to be used quite often (any more would be welcome).

suicidal: you jump into the middle of a group of +3's, just so you can max out fury, beat the crap out of them, then finish the last one with brawl just because you had full fury and 3 +3 SO's in it. then you wait for about 20 seconds while everyone that was watching were offering respites and the like, only to see you jump in a group that was exactly like the last but with only half your health "wow! look how much damage im doing!!!1!11"

power pummel: you go off and find a big group of -2/3's and only use brawl on them, get your fury to max, take them all out in one shot, then you go to a really big group of even levels and take them out nice and safely. once that has done, rest, repeat.

war machine: you team with other brutes/ranged fighter and attack the enemies very quickly. if theres more then one brute, they usually both go for the same person and build up fury at the same rate, making the killing faster and faster. if you with someone that can buff, they butt you till you are the most powerful, then you both attack at the same time. if your not with another brute/buffer/debuffer then you all attack at the same time.

im a suicide crossed with a war machine. what are you?

suicidal

most of the time everyone keeps waiting for someone to attack first, so i just run into the mobs then. Rest will follow then

I'm new at this punching people lark, but the build up bar means I don't stop between mobs. I'd rather die and get debt than lose fury by standing around.

So I'm definitely suicidal, even now that I hit level 10 and can get debt. I've never used inspirations like I do with my brute.

I think there needs to be another option.

Steamroller: Run into the mission and build full Fury on the first couple of mobs, then roll through the rest, never stopping for a break unless its absolutely necessary. Best for solo play.

That's me


@Crius

Bassai, Canadian Kid, Alruna, Kahi

Mistress Rad, Culpeo, Ms. Demeanor, Celsius

If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. Let's go to work.

You missed one. It's closely related to 'suicidal' but involves having a pet SB/Transfusion dispenser.... call it 'Lawnmower Deth' .... you dive in flailing, sending body parts flying everywhere and finish as 'mission complete' pops up, saying 'damn, full fury, where's the nearest next mish?'

Got two brutes on the go at the moment. My Stone/Inv brute seems to build more fury and do better on suicidal than any sort of planned attack. My Fire/DA brute.......... well I like to switch targets a lot so they're all burning around me, and therefore attacking me. Do it with even levels and builds fury nicely. This plan falls apart when Cremate one shots people

And me
maybe with a lil bit of suicidal too... it's quite often i find myself about to jump in a group of 3 mobs even/+1/+2 with about 10% life left, just because i have 90% fury

Edit: Typos..

Probably suicidal. When I'm playing with anyone other than Fire of Darkness, I keep a careful eye on my stats. When I've got my brute, I ignore everything except the next punchbag... or should I say punch snake... It's nothing to do with playing style. I've just got addicted to the fact that I can take on two reds and win...

I've barely just created a brute alt, but I think I'm going to use the suicidal way... looks like fun!

LEEEEROOOOOYYYYYYYYYY!

I got rage, now I have no fear. Or spellling. Or grammar.

Red Rag is a bit suicidal, i.e. jump into middle of biggest group with Blazing Aura on to attract all the aggro. Only prolem is that it burns End so fast that steamrollering more than a couple of groups is out of the question.


UNION @Flitz 50, Lead Hose 50, Red Rag 50
DEFIANT Rose Bloodthorn 34
VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!

I would have to go with Suicidal....well some shmuck has to take the alpha strike and it seems to be muggins ere who's the 1st one and last one out.

Suicidal all the way


There is no such thing as too much power

I'm a steamroller - against large groups of +1/+0 mobs Inspirations take up any shortfall in Endurance or Health.

I fight therefore I exist.



Edit:
Replied to the wrong post... go figure.

I only just made my first Brute yesterday (he's level 3 now), but I'm firmly on the road to suicidal too

The way I see it, that's the point of being a Brute, even the name implies it. I can use tactics on my other characters, this one is for smashing things

In a team, it has to be suicidal, Solo its steam roller, with a smattering of suicial (how else will i get the bonus furry points), im EA so anything could happen .
Running away dont get you no SMASH!!!
